In a new interview with Elle UK's September 2016 issue, cover star Kristen Stewart gets candid about her dating life and says she's "really in love" these days. KStew confirms that yes, she's dating Alicia Cargile, the film producer the actress was linked to more than one year ago. "I think also right now I'm just really in love with my girlfriend," she tells Elle UK. "We've broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, 'Finally, I can feel again.'"

Without mentioning names, KStew also opens up about a previous relationship with a guy. "We were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, 'That's mine. You're making my relationship something that it's not.' I didn't like that." With a girl, she says, things began to change. "It opened my life and I'm so much happier."

KStew's Elle UK interview comes just off the heels of her comments made in the Los Angeles Times last week, when she said she's done with hiding certain aspects of her life: "I've discovered a way to live my life and not feel like I'm hiding at all," she said. "And I think that's pretty apparent for anyone who cares — not that everyone does. But I think that if you had been tracking it in any way, it's more apparent that I'm more relaxed than I used to be." She also addressed the problem of labels when it comes to sexuality in a May interview with Variety. "There's an acceptance that's become really rampant and cool. You don't have to immediately know how to define yourself."
